Apple’s new HomeView smart home hub lacks an App Store, but it can still run some third-party audio and video apps that support CarPlay.
HomeView can automatically mirror CarPlay-enabled audio and video apps from a nearby, paired iPhone, with no modifications to the app required.
In a video shared on Mastodon, Broadcasts app developer Steve Troughton-Smith demonstrated what Spotify looks like on a virtualized HomeView.
The full list of built-in Apple apps on the HomeView:
- Alarms
- Calendar
- FaceTime
- Find My
- Home
- Intercom
- Messages
- Music
- Podcasts
- Reminders
- Safari
- Settings
- Timers
- Weather
- World Clock
CarPlay-enabled apps from iPhone available on HomeView:
- Apple Music Classical
- Apple News
- Apple TV
- Audiobooks
- “Supported third-party audio and video apps” like Spotify
